Planting Fava beans

Roberto, Nikko, Arturo and Ricardo are carefully planting Fava beans. We soak the beans for two hours in a special compost tea made with feathers and seaweed. The soaked seeds then have to be dropped in place by hand. The tea makes a very big difference to how many seeds germinate. We do not use treated seeds which are coated with chemicals to protect them as they are germinating.
